ABOUT.

‘TIS NOT THY GRANDAM’S SHAKESPEARE!

What do you get when you combine one part Shakespeare, ten professional actors, a dash of live music, and your favorite local hang? You get a tangy, refreshing Shakespeare… with a twist!‍ ‍

Eccentric Bear is bringing the sexy, violent, hysterical plays of William Shakespeare to a bar near thee. How does it work? First, our merry band of professional actors get the script one month in advance. Next, we rehearse the entire play for a mere 24 hours. Finally, we perform it live for you, our beloved groundlings!¹ No two performances are the same. And as always, if we forget a line... everyone drinks!

So raise thy glass; let merriment persist.
The time has come for Shakespeare… with a twist!

¹ Groundling (n): a spectator who stood in the pit of an Elizabethan theater
